Welcome to SandyLand.......
Hi, I'm Sandra Engebose and welcome to SandyLand, where I specialize in art and gifts! Pet portraits, large flower paintings, pop surrealism paintings, all the way to soy candles and other yummy smelling bath and body products! I've always loved to make things, and when I started getting really serious about selling, I needed a good business name. I was a little wary of using SandyLand......because it was a very personal little place of mine where I get sooo absorbed in my work that I'm oblivious to the world around me, I'm in 'SandyLand' as my closest of friends would say. A safe place, a happy place, a place where everything is as I say.... this is the place I'm at when making things-happy! I lived a large chunk of my life (beginning in childhood) with PTSD, so I was just a tad hesitant to share this personal 'SandyLand' publicly. I decided that nothing else really fit as well as SandyLand did, so after much deliberation I decided to just go with it and not look back! Well, SandyLand turned into a physical location- a store front gallery/studio in a 100 year old building, and with online access aka SandyLand Studio on Etsy for those who can't make it here in person.......
There's a small gallery, my painting and drawing area, and a kitchen just for making candles and other fun stuff! The building was built after the original building burnt down after a huge fire that wiped out almost all of the businesses on this main street in 1915. There is a gorgeous antique tin ceiling hidden by a drop ceiling, and windows (9 separate windows to spell out SandyLand!!!!) hidden under the mansard roof. I'm hoping in the years to come that I can start restoring this building, please like my facebook page if you are interested in updates! I also post coupon codes and new products with an occasional give away there!
